Hailee Mae Sleepin
We went for a walk and when we came home I striped Hailee down and set her on the couch so I could do a couple of things. I checked on her after just a couple minutes because she was being so quiet and all that fresh air pooped her out, she passed out right on top of her cloth diaper. They look like they were a great pillow though. I love her so much!!!!!!
To My Dear Great Aunt Rose
Dear Aunt Rose,
Today I am saddened to hear of your passing and wish that I could be there to celebrate your life. You were an amazing women and I want you to know you were an inspiration to us all, even if we were not the best at showing it. I know that you touched a lot of lives in Ketchikan with your work at the hospital, and volunteer work at the church and the soup kitchen. I think you were an amazing women alone in just raising your sisters five children like they were your own after she passed. I could only imagine how hard it would be to raise five children that weren't even yours all by yourself. I have so many memories of playing at your house as a child and only now realize as an adult how truly patient you were. I remember making you watch me play with toys and if I caught your eyes closed I would wake you and make you watch me play. You always said you were just resting your eyes and not sleeping. I cant even count how many times you walked up Bryant street hill for me so I could play in the park, and I know that was hard for you but you did it anyway. In also remember playing the piano, and I know I wasn't good, probably just banging all the keys and you never got mad or irritated. We used to go to the landing and get a stack of pancakes for breakfast on the days that I stayed the night with you. I have wonderful memories of you from my childhood and I know that you had a long and wonderful life. You will truly be miss by many and I hope you are in a happier place with the rest of your family that has passed before you. I love you Aunt Rose and I hope to see you again. I really wish you could have met your great great niece, I think you would have liked her.
Love Always,
Monica

Day 9
Something your proud of in the last few days
Well two days ago I finally started to work out again since being pregnant and having my little girl. It took awhile for me to figure out where to fit a workout in and then to actually have the energy to do it. Hailee is on a roll and has sleep for five hours straight in her crib about five times this week, and boy does five hours of sleep without her in bed with me make a huge difference on my energy level. I have started to work out in the mornings after taking the dogs for a walk because Hailee always takes a good nap after a bit of fresh air. I am hoping to stick with this schedule and be back to my goal weight in a few months. I want to lose 30 pounds and hope to have it off before spring hits. Then I can get my baby into swim lessons and not feel uncomfortable in the pool with her.

Day 8
Short term goals for this month
My short term goals for the month of November are to keep my grades A's in the 3 psychology classes that I am taking currently, keep my sanity while my husband is away training so I have no help with our baby, and to maybe loose a couple more pounds of baby weight.
